JohnRich 4 #26 June 29, 2006 Quote"Personally, I would rather fear mongering is used to increase donations for a worthy cause like child abuse. I much prefer that over fear mongering so you can invade another country..." So some fear-mongering is okay, but other fear-mongering is not. Well, it's nice to see you take a strong, principled stand on ethics! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And I'd bet that many other readers would interpret it the same way. At any rate, the readers will decide for themselves. And it's really cute how you try and escape from your own poor position statement or choice of words, by blaming me. Are you gonna get mad at me now like kallend, and demand that I apologize for making you look bad? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I say "I'd rather have a dislocated thumb than a dislocated shoulder", does that mean I approve of having my thumb dislocated? In any case, did you read the statistics I posted in this thread? It would appear the fear-mongering (if any) isn't nearly as substantial as you first suggested. Blues, Dave"I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

But that does not mean that you approve of being shot by a .22. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry, I'll apologize to you, I actually thought you looked pretty bad with your interpretation and assumption. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
